All of those things where alive, all of them, do you know for certain that they don't suffer? they also could not replace the entire worlds meat/fish/poultry supply, there isn't that much land to grow things on.

My point is the act of eating something cannot in and of it's self have a moral implication since eating of flesh can be done by things that can't even ask the question of morality. This applies to a lot of things, so we have to come to a consensus but one person cannot just brand it wrong and expect everyone else to agree.

Cat's are house pets, we feed them, they don't have to hunt anything.
Yes I know they didn't suffer and weren't really alive because they don't have organs, a circulatory system or a central nervous system. And unless you have evidence to support your claim then there would be enough space to replace the worlds meat supply.

Civilised humans are not the same as wild animals because we have the capability to understand how our actions can affect and change the things around us in both positive and negative ways. Animals are able to experience pain and fear so knowing this we are able to see and understand that it's not the morally right thing to do. Put yourself in their position, if an alien species took over the world and wanted to eat humans even though they had so many other alternatives for food we wouldn't like it.

Yeah, not addressing the actual points, the act of eating the flesh of another animal is not a moral question, how we treat those animals before they are killed, how they are killed, if they should be killed, all important considerations.

as for proof... how about the large swathes of the world population that don't have enough food to survive? or did you forget about them in your moral pronouncements?

Things have to change, farming is one of the most destructive forces on our eco system at this time, the current system cannot and will not last.

I think you need to think about the moral implication of forcing third world farmers to buy soya from agro-corps so you can have quorn. They will bearely be able to feed their own famalies after having to buy imported food since all the land is taken up with exports, but at least you won't of had to kill some poor herbivore.

My sentiment has always been the animal is already dead it'd be an insult to the animal not to eat it.

And like Chris Rock said its really in America where we have so much we can be picky about what we eat. Meat in moderation is fine.

I don't know if this has been posted yet (I'm not reading 18 pages), but the documentary "Fat Head" is pretty interesting (find it on Netflix instant download) as it relates to this debate.

The guy basically loses weight, improves his blood pressure, and lowers his cholesterol just by eating meat from fast-food restaurants.

Fascinating stuff.

Wait, PETA is nuts? I had no idea.

I'm a vegetarian, and PETA fills me with hate and loathing.
MURDER FRENZY EVEN.

This billboard is clearly some sort of cry for attention, it's what PETA has been doing periodically for years now. They make this offensive and retarded statement, troll a few people into visiting their website, and then they link you to some videos which they hope will shock you enough that it changes your mind. It must be working because they keep pulling stuff like this every year.

Anyway, I think that PETA is full of shit, and all the vegetarians/vegans that follow them around are pretty much the same. Preachy and pushy, moaning and bitching, they might have some good ideas and a decent cause but all of that is lost in their hypocrisy and their deliberate aggravation. If you want to end animal suffering there are more effective ways of going about that then calling feeding children meat a crime, and hence punishable by law. Why don't they try to make some scientific advances that will revolutionize farming, say for example cloning particular cuts of meat meaning you don't need to actually kill any animals to have a steak? Why don't they cut their billboard funds to try and help out with that...

Oh, yeah, because now they wont be able to act morally superior to everyone they meet. Oh well.

Anyway, a lot of vegetarians have some good ideas I guess, and if they aren't jerks in regards to those ideas then I have no problem with them. But PETA and its thralls are jerks who have no idea what they're doing and who's business plan is 'We're better then you so suck it".

PETA kills more animals than most kennels and pet establishments, you know.
yeah, saw that on a bumper sticker once, "petakillsanimals.com" or something. But, honestly, I believe it would be unhealthy to be a vegan, because of the lack of protein, iron, etc.

Well, being a vegetarian is better for your health than eating meat.
And it actually does make you live longer.
What is healthy is getting an appropriate balance from all four major food groups
